Bullshit Excuses?

It is very easy to criticize someone who is not feeling capable of doing something that for you is just a piece of cake.

Then comes the harsh words: you are useless, you are just giving lame excuses, you just don’t want it enough…etcetera.

But reality is not that obvious. There is a complete belief system inside our heads that is not just preventing that person of doing that something, it is showing her a complete different reality.

You’ll see, when a belief is held by somebody, the brain will filter any perception that may contradict the system. Then, when is looking for information on the particular subject, it will much more easily find evidence to reinforce that belief. It might even be almost blind to any info suggesting otherwise.

It takes huge amounts of energy and effort to break these dynamics, so next time you encounter someone in this situation (it could easily be yourself) think about the whole different worlds you are living before calling them bullshit excuses.
